Subject: Re: POSTING RAPS TO CHART
RAPs, which should include your decision to careplan, are to be completed by
day 14 for an Admission OBRA MDS.
RAI Userâs Manual VB2:
Date that the RN coordinating the RAP assessment process
certifies that the RAPs have been completed. The RAP review must be
completed no later than day 14 from the admission date for an Admission
assessment and within 14 days of the Assessment Reference Date (A3a) for an
Annual assessment, Significant Change in Status assessment, or a Significant
Correction of a Prior Full assessment. This date is considered the date of
completion for the RAI (i.e., the date used to determine compliance with
Federal time frames for assessment and the date that drives future due dates
for when the RAI needs to be completed).
(p. 3-238)
The Careplans are to be completed no later than day 21.

A center in the area got cited for "not having the RAPS on the chart in a
timely basis." Do they need to be actually on the chart by day 21? Our
procedure is that they are complete by day 21 and in the care plan nurse's
box along with the MDS until she completes the care plan 7 days later. She
then posts the RAPS and MDS and the care plans go to our DON for signature
(SB 1202 in Florida). After they are signed, they go to the chart. Do we
need to change our procedure and have them on the chart earlier?
